摘要: We sought to identify biomarkers in the amniotic fluid (AF) and specific signaling pathways related spontaneous preterm delivery (SPTD, < 34 weeks) women with labor (PTL) without intra-uterine infection/inflammation (IUI). This was a retrospective cohort study of total 139 PTL singleton gestation (24 + 0 32 6 who underwent amniocentesis displayed no evidence IUI. A nested case-control conducted using pooled AF samples (n = 20) analyzed via label-free liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. In cohort, an ELISA validation performed for seven candidate proteins interest. Proteomic analysis identified 77 differentially expressed (DEPs, P 0.05) from SPTD cases compared term controls. confirmed that had before weeks significantly independently lower levels VEGFR-1 higher lipocalin-2 Fc fragment IgG binding protein AF. Five principle associated DEPs were identified, including glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, iron homeostasis. The proteomic data AFs several novel absence
